Jaguar's classic XJ V12 Coupé from 1973

April 6, 2016

The Jaguar XJ coupé is just so English and so elegant. It’s also very sporty, with a top speed of more than 230 km/h thanks to its lovely V12 engine.

The four-seater coupé was based on the short-wheel-base version of the Jaguar XJ four-door sedan. It targeted the individualist who could dispense with four doors in favor of two, but not with the luxury of the sedan. In the mid-1970s, an XJ 12 Coupé was Jaguar's most expensive model.
